No promises I'll use it a lot, but I've started an account on Bluesky. You can follow me there:

@shadadzai @Jeeecub Happens a lot if the players both have the skill and the speed, but many players only have one of the two so it ends up breaking down in the PL

@Bd_irB_ll was just thinking this lol

@TheDarkConRises lol, yep

@saivishal1997 I don't believe his system has made the team worse tbh, last season was significantly worse than this and early this season also really poor. INEOS had no choice seeing as Ten Hag's setup didn't work

@saivishal1997 If he gets 3-4 new players and this team is not better next season I'll be really critical of him but I think it's too soon to tell. This stuff is difficult mid-season

I understand struggling to implement totally new tactics mid-season in a team that has been a tactical basket case for the last decade, I don't understand getting XIs totally wrong. I think for the most part his XIs have been okay so far, and hope it will go back to that now

@KerryCa69031147 Yea I hear you but my expectations are higher than that. He needs to get the XI right at kickoff, otherwise he can't be trusted with multimillion pound players. I trust him to fix it and I think it will help results

@matiaswulff1 I liked Maz actually, think it was the other changes that helped this. Am curious to find out why he did that

@MarzTrey This always happens to proactive-tactic teams trying to change up mid-season. It's a big ask

@JV78078172 yes

@JV78078172 I agree with this for the time being

@banngr Yup (saw one of them for sure). The Hojlund conversation is a very difficult one, but also an incomplete one

@MicTuathaigh You don't think the player is going to block the cross to Zirkzee anyways, because it's a ball into the box right in front of him? Idk man

@stx4__ If we can have a substantive discussion about his shortcomings then we can also talk about what he's good at, as long as we acknowledge the balance is still not good enough

@RobhRyan I agree with you, so I don't understand the source of the "come on man"

@shadadzai The space opens up because he's the only player in the box and when you stretch the opposition defence their decision making is going to be oriented towards marking the player getting the shot. Not because he chose to run into traffic

People taking this as me defending Hojlund when I'm not, you are attacking him for no reason. If you look at that play and say "Zirkzee offers more than Hojlund because of this", you do not understand how this stuff works

@MicTuathaigh How is it a bad run?
